(Exodus 4034, 38 Numbers 915) 4The Perimeter Fence and the Gate

The tabernacle was a place of protection or hiding place

(Psalm 275)

Jesus is the Gate (John 107) and the

narrow way. (Matthew 713)

19The Temple built by King Solomon

Picture with permission of the Temple Institute, Jerusalem

The Ark was brought by King David to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6)

and the Temple was constructed by his son, Solomon, on the same pattern as the Tabernacle according to Gods commandments.

(1 Kings 6-9)

20The Temple construction (1 Kings 5-7) - model

The walls of each room were panelled with cedar and carved with flowers, palm leaves and cheribim and overlaid with gold.

Sacrifices were made in the courtyard outside.

Only the priests and Levites were allowed inside the building.

21The Temple was where Gods presence was His eyes and His heart.

Isaiah had a vision of the Lord seated on the throne, His train filled the temple and He was surrounded by cheribim.

(Isaiah 61-7)

He was awe struck with Gods holiness and his own unworthiness.

22The Second Temple (Zerubbabels Temple) was built after the Exile.King Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem in 538 BC and gave back all the gold and silver objects taken by the Babylonians. It was not completed in 515 BC because of opposition and discouragement. It was similar to Solomons temple, but not so splendid. 23 Herods TempleIt was built between 19 BC and 9 AD

It was 2x higher than Solomons Temple and covered with gold so that it was a dazzling sight.

24Herods Temple

It had an outer Gentile Court, which anyone could enter, a Womens Court, Court of Israel and Priests Court.

25Herods Temple was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70

27Synagogue construction followed the plan of the original Tabernacle and temples in Jerusalem

At its front an ark, aron kodesh, containing the Torah scrolls is comparable to the Ark of the Covenant This is the holiest spot in a synagogue, equivalent to the Holy of Holies.

A candelabrum ner tamid, similar to the original Menorah burns constantly.

At the center is a large elevated area, known as the bimah where the Torah is read, equivalent to the altars in the Tabernacle on which incense and animal sacrifices were offered.

28Christians no longer need to build temples. We are temples of the Holy Spirit

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit does not live in temple made with hands, but He dwells in us.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 619)

29The Third Temple

Ezekiel was given a vision of perfect Millennial Temple

(Ezekiel 41-43) with the same attributes as the Tabernacle, but far superior.
